Minecraft May Get Optional New Player Models

That's a 25% reduction in arm pixels!

A new player model with slimmer arms is currently being tested out as a possible future Minecraft feature.

Minecraft developer Jens Bergensten tweeted some images of the new model, which sees arm width reduced from four blocks to three. It's a small change, but makes a big difference to the silhouette of the iconic block figures.

If you'd prefer to keep your beefcake arms, don't worry: Bergensten says that the 3-pixel-arm model would be an option you can choose via your profile. Of course, we're yet to see if this feature will make it beyond testing stages.
